Emma

As a daughter of the richest, most important man in the small provincial village of Highbury, Emma Woodhouse is firmly convinced that it is her right ‑ perhaps even her “duty” – to arrange the lives of others. Considered by most critics to be Austen’s most technically brilliant achievement, Emma sparkles with ironic insights into self-deception, self-discovery, and the interplay of love and power.
